Ask the guy on steroids

Man, am I buzzing! I feel like I want to hit something. Not to be mean, but just to be expressive. I think my emotions are poetry. I feel like I’m thinking too fast.

I’m on these things for six days (the first day is a massive dose) as part of a treatment for MS-type symptoms. I’m normally more of a passive type guy. Melancholy in fact. But right now, my eyes look sort of wild and I wouldn’t mind getting into a fight. Not to hurt somebody, but just to have fun. I’m still a libertarian, so I wouldn’t do it unless it was something they wanted, too.

I feel primal. I know this is all in my head. But I have to take another pill in about an hour. By the end of the day, I might be bouncing off the walls.

Welcome to my world, Lib.

Thanks! Wouldn’t roller coasters be more fun if the cars themselves would spin? :slight_smile:

Uh-huh. Not that I need roller coaster rides, my mood swings are plenty exciting as it is.

Handy little tip for you to help release all that aggression - get yersen a punch bag. Don’t bother punching it, though. You’ll find it far more satisfying to beat the shit out of it with a baseball bat. For added fun, whack a few nails through the bat first.

You may need a spare punch bag if you do, mind.

Ya want me to send Evander Holyfield over to your pad?

I was thinking more along the lines of George Costanza or something.

We tied the cat’s pouch of catnip which she adores to the dog’s nutsac once and enjoyed his consternation with her trying to get to it. That’s about the last time I’ve seen Lib’s level of energy on display.

Who would Jesus fight?

“I’d fight William Shatner.”

:wink:

I know how you feel man. I have to take some for my asthma. Everytime sluggish, but I need to hit someone. Like my brother for example! :slight_smile: Anyway, it gets better after the first few days. Stay strong and try not to kill anyone :wink:

You on prednisone, Lib? 's what it sounds like.

If I were conducting a study and you were my only available subject, I’d conclude that steriods make smart people seem more weird than usual.

hey, it’s a joke but feel free to kick in your monitor.

I know how you feel. I’ve been on that stuff for nearly 20 years, mostly just 5mg but I have been as high as 100mg. I don’t feel aggressive but when on the high doses get extremely emotional and hyperactive. Oh and hungry!!!
Have fun.

Are you more tolerant of pain, or do you find being able to tolerate pain more satisfying than usual?

So, uh… Hulk smash?

(insert modal ontological proof that, yes, Hulk smash)

Yeah, I was on them temporarily for my lungs so I know how good they start out. Doc wouldn’t let me have more than a week of them, though.

They are. Go to Six Flags Magic Mountain and go on Xtreme, the best roller coaster ever created!

I opened this thread with great expectations of you losing it in 30 point “LIBERTARIAN SMASH!!!” font screed. I was expecting some real rhetorical 'roid rage, and I get this tea party crap. Where’s the elemental fury you are famous for?

BBQ Pit, first door to your left.

Which steroids? Anabolic (like testosterone)? Prednisone? Estrogen?
